      Pros

      The paychecks are good, the work is doable, and often fun and exciting. The food and snacks are in endless supply.

      Cons

      Bloomberg television is a disaster. They over-hire just so they can fire at will. They will have you train someone who will then replace you. No opportunities for women to advance, it's definitely a boys club. Management sends out new directives and policy changes on a daily basis. Absolutely no job security unless you are staff. Employees are very disposable.

      Some bright spots but overall disappointing

      Pros

      There are some very smart and capable people that you can learn from. A lot of information is open and available if you know where to look. Snacks, summer parties, social events. Good benefits.

      Cons

      Hit or miss if you end up in a team with interesting work and a good manager - the exception rather than the rule. A lot of long-time employees with entrenched views make it a bit of a monoculture. Old technology and tools. A lot of busywork goes on.

      Pros

      Pay and Benefits are very good. Job stability at Bloomberg is very good. The company encourages employees to volunteer with various charities.

      Cons

      The company insists that everybody comes to the office every day. Until recently working from home was never allowed. Even now it is highly discouraged by management. Software is hurried without good design and with little documentation. There is a lot of proprietary software and after a few years your expertise starts to decay. The open plan seating arrangement does make communication between employees better but the noise and interruptions make concentration impossible. The corporate culture with its automated system of tickets give you the feeling of being constantly rushed to deliver. The overly complex and poorly organized software lowers productivity.
